I did not say it was going to become impossible to buy 1 bitcoin, but with the coming years and judging with the track record bitcoin had set it will be much harder to buy one bitcoin in the future with the same amount used in DCA now, if it took 10 years to buy now it might take 15 years in the future so the only to keep at at 10 years would be to increase your weekly investment as was stated in the article.
With any work done diligently and consistently, I don't think it will be difficult for anyone to accumulate one Bitcoin for future investment. This is because it is highly influenced by a person's confidence in owning Bitcoin and never hesitating to continue buying without any reason. And if you're willing to dedicate ten or fifteen years to buying Bitcoin using the DCA method, you will have one Bitcoin, or even more. The DCA method isn't always measured by the amount of money you use each week to buy Bitcoin; you can use different amounts for each purchase in the coming weeks.

So, any investor who has started in the past few years and continues to use this method today will no longer be concerned about whether or not they can own a specific amount of Bitcoin. They will remain focused on their initial plan: to keep buying with the money they've set aside each week, so that the amount of Bitcoin they accumulate will continue to grow over time.

We should still be trying to be realistic, and surely someone who starts today with accumulating $250 per week of bitcoin has a chance to reach 1 BTC in 10 years if they are able to increase their weekly (or otherwise) BTC purchase amounts in the coming 10 years. If they stay at $250 per week and have no other BTC purchases, they might not reach 1 bitcoin in 10 years... So there are needs to try to be realistic within what we are currently capable of doing and what we project ourselves to be capable of in the future, even though the future remains a projection in many ways, so the shorter the period of time, we can attempt to be more realistic with what we are able to do as compared to further out projections having a lot of variables that could end up changing our abilities to buy bitcoin at the same rate or even at a changed rate (whether higher or lower).

Growth in an investor's portfolio is certain as long as they keep investing in bitcoin, it might be faster for some than others but it will still happen, it will only take time, dedication and consistency on the part of the investor, over the course of a decade or two an investor's stash will eventually reach 1 BTC, so even though getting 1 BTC over the next decade will be harder now than it was over the last decade an investor will still hit that threshold if the are consistent enough in investing and HODLing for long enough

There is something wrong with what you seem to be saying in this portion ZeroVinsonN.

Surely it is true that if a person keeps buying bitcoin, his bitcoin stash will continue to go up, yet we can neither presume that the BTC will be more valuable in dollar terms or that for sure anyone is able to reach 1 BTC, since even starting out at $250 per week right now and anticipating increasing the weekly allocation by 10% to 30% each year, we still cannot be sure to be able to get to 1 BTC or more within 10 years, even though we might be able to project that there are certain scenarios that are more likely to lead to the accumulation of 1 BTC or more within 10 years than other scenarios.  I think that I even provided an example to proclaim that historically over the past 10 years, any of us could have had invested $5 per week over the past 10 years and invested $2,600, and we would have had accumulated more than 1 BTC, and sure most of that BTC would have been accumulated in the earlier years of accumulating since in recent years each $5 would not have had added very much extra value to the stash..   

I looked again at the website and I plugged in some new dates, and I saw that $5 per day between August 1, 2015 and December 1, 2017 would have resulted in $610 invested and 1 bitcoin.  Furthermore, just starting to invest 1 month earlier in July 1, 2015 would have resulted in $440 invested by March 2017 and still 1 bitcoin, so surely the earlier the better, especially in those earlier years of accumulating bitcoin.
